rubber-duck-tutor

A teaching and checking add-on that asks you to explain AI-assisted coding work before building, after writing code, and before shipping. It also helps you learn an unfamiliar codebase or coding topic.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare coding tasks, verify or review generated changes, learn a new repository, and practise concepts through questions and exercises.
Why use it?
It checks whether you understand the code and decisions, instead of letting AI-generated work pass without explanation.

Grade A, and why

rubber-duck-tutor scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

{
  "name": "rubber-duck-tutor",
  "description": "Rubber duck tutor that keeps you sharp across the whole AI-coding lifecycle, not just after code lands: /duck-prebuild before you ask AI to build, /duck-verify and /duck-review once it's written and before you ship, /duck-orient when you're new to a codebase, plus /duck for auto-detect. /coach is its teaching sibling (manual-invocation only): /coach <topic> explains and drills a concept, /coach <file> or a bare /coach right after generating code dissects it section by section, and /coach alone picks up an unresolved gap from a past duck session and teaches it — resolved only once you pass the exercise, not by saying you understand. Ship-point hooks (git push, gh pr create, glab mr create) confront you inline — targeting the highest-risk change you didn't actually discuss, retrying an unresolved gap from a past session, or demoting to a non-blocking scoreboard after three ignored confrontations in a row — and every fire/answer/ignore is logged so you can see whether it's working. Doesn't referee code quality or plan design — that's /code-review and /grilling's job; duck only checks whether you understand, and never teaches — that's coach's job.",

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

kiln

Multi-model software creation pipeline. A conversation becomes running, tested software — an interactive brainstorm, then an autonomous build: GPT-5.6 writes the code, Claude shapes the plans and interfaces, and each family inspects the work of the other.

coaltipple

CoalTipple — model/effort router for Claude Code. Delegates a task you CAN do but is large+cheap DOWN to a lower tier to save tokens; escalates a task beyond the current tier UP for quality — up to Fable 5, the top rung (a consent-gated, real-money spawn). Two-knob routing (tier × effort, effort-before-tier), an alias.
